Fun Fridays: Clothing refashion for American Girl dolls...........

So, last week I got a sewing bug and just had this great need to start and finish something quickly. I don't usually need instant gratification, so when it comes, I tend to give in.

I hope to do a tutorial soon, but for now I have an after picture of what I made.

Addy is modeling a sweater refashioned from an outgrown sweater of Ava's. I used the bottom of one sleeve and part of the waistband for the doll's neckline. Ava added some brown twill tape through some of the holes in the sweater as an accent. Super easy!

The skirt is just the bottom ruffled tier of a skirt of Ava's. Just one seam to make a circle, and an elastic casing for a waistband.

The leggings are cut from one pant leg of an old pair of leggings Ava outgrew. Again, super fast and easy! I got the idea from this tutorial on making tights for your dolls.

The headband is just twill tape we already had in the perfect shade of purple to match the outfit!

The shoes are AG from some outfit and matched perfectly. The ice skates are just because Ava said Addy was planning to go skating later. :)

An entire new outfit for FREE that would cost a disgusting $32 from AG. *Like*
